There's nothing I can do either, there's a shortage of parts. Stuck waiting....
Rocker looks really good, its going to change the direction though for the shifts, does that not bother you? Pushing forward to change up is really unnatural in a competition car....
It retains the same orientation mate, maybe hard to make out in the pics, try my best to explain.Quote:

By pivoting the extension above (green pivot) and attaching the shift rod below (yellow arrow) we're able to maintain the orientation, with a slightly lengthened throw, but that should be manageable.

Pic of the lever above, hinged on the floor of the car and the shift rod attaches above, maintaining the orientation.
You're 100% right though my RS6 is push forward for up and pull back for down when using the manual stick shifter and it's stupid!!! You gotta pull back for up and push forward for down!! It's just the way it is!!!
On other news, the box left France today, I have zero time between now and September to do anything so I delivered the car to Ben @ Hangar 30 this morning with the box coming from SWR next week and he's going to stick it all back together, I won't have driveshafts in time for VBOA as they're due first week of August but it'll be back together in a fashion and at the show!!
Thats good news on the box. Hopefully you'll be banging through the gears again soon.

Tranquility base here.....the Eagle has landed
Get it in and up to Sywell next week!
The car will be there, minus driveshafts as they're still on orderQuote:

Anyway, all sorted now for Snetterton again on the 1/11/22.
Box is lovely, like silk compared to the dog shit quaife!!
A little video

Nice.
Looks to shift beautifully. I had the Quaife sequential in my Escort Cosworth, 'agricultural' is the only word I can use. To be fair it never broke.
Decidedly agricultural compared to this Colin, hoping for a full throttle day out on Tuesday at Snet again. Worried we're geared too short though as we were on the rev limiter on the back straight with limited throttle. We'll seeQuote:

Alternator rubs the chassis leg which is what you can hear in the video.
Soaking wet Brands Hatch today, like geeza with a wooden boat and a load of animals 2x2
Had a setup done on the car in the garage, corner weighted and camber and caster adjusted. Should make it feel better when dry weather comes around.

Anyway, little video of a few laps, really hard to get the power down, hardly any full throttle as the car didn't like it and a load of aquaplaning which is slightly bum hole twitchy, which I didn't enjoy so much.

Car looks to be held together with gaffa tape
Trying to keep engine temps up as I don't run a thermostatQuote:

Top front mount is screwed, we've worked out that the bush is acting in the wrong plane.

Need to spin the bush through 90 degrees, time to get the funk out.....

Freely admit my TIGing is not the best, I probably should have MIG'd it or tacked it and got Ben to do a proper job, as it is as soon as Ben has time this will be re-made by him properly.
But we've got the bush spun through 90 so it's acting in the same plane as the gearbox mount, also lifted the engine 2-3mm which we're hoping will move the alternator away from the chassis leg.
More this week, 4th engine mount, changing master cylinders, prep for Snet in the middle of June.

Got scared when I got to the workshop this morning and looked at it, reverted back to type and fired the MIG up!! Happier with that.
Nice welding,!
TIG was horrendous, MIG slightly better!!!Quote:

My hulk muscles went OTT!!
Gotta get a whole new hose made up as they're crimped fittings!!!
But she doesn't look too bad in her old age
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...903bd02774.jpg
Think Automotive hooked me up with a new hose while I waited
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...740d0a6d82.jpg
Also they gave me the torque figures for each size of fitting so I won't make that mistake again.
All fitted and back up and running.
Booked onto Snetterton 25th of this month for a little shake down and test. Hopefully good weather, forecast looks ok.

No idea if this will make a difference but it looks badass!!!
Board is temporary, I'll add some proper buffalo board when I decide if it makes a difference or not
25th at Snet you say.. half tempted to take mine to work and pop in.
Good work though. I need to get my project post updated.
